ARTIST'S BIO
The Journey
Raised on the Mornington Peninsula, Justine Lee-Brock showed an early artistic spark, winning a council environmental poster competition in her early teens. While she continuously channelled her creativity into her career and personal projects over the years, serious painting took a back seat. Her passion re-emerged through local art competitions at the Long Island Retirement Village. Her renewed drive led her to the Milan Art Institute Mastery Program—a deeply transformative and wonderful experience where she graduated as a professional artist in 2026.
Passion
Justine found her authentic voice through an unexpected redirection. While painting traditional feminine subjects often constrained her creative flow, painting the male figure came with remarkable ease and freedom. Grounded in her spirituality and belief in God, she viewed this as a divine nudge. She now approaches each piece with faith, intuition, and careful observation, seeking to reveal strength, dignity, hope, and the quiet beauty of the human spirit.
Future Vision
From her studio at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula, Justine experiments with photography, nature, digital tools, and AI. Looking ahead, she plans to establish a purpose-built studio, travel for inspiration, and build a body of work that moves collectors across Australia and beyond.
Quote "Just because a journey is difficult doesn't mean it was the wrong direction, if you arrive at your destiny then you were always on the right path, it may have been the only way to get there" – Justine Lee-Brock

A Glimpse Behind the Scenes
The peaceful environment and everyday moments that inspire my artistic flow
The Beach
There's something about the rhythm of the sea that resets everything. I walk the beach and boardwalks regularly — sometimes with a purpose, sometimes just to breathe and to exercise. The light on the water, the sound of the waves, the salt air — it all quietly fills me back up. So much of what ends up on my canvas starts here
The Studio
Cultivating Artistic Insight. Where the Building of Creativity Begins. Established 2024, the studio is a great space for creative activity, inspiration and building beautiful art. Operating out of a small space requires excellent organisation which in turn makes this space exciting and always ready to go for production!
The Garden
Just outside my studio window sits a little patch of abundance — flowers in bloom, colour and life within arm's reach. It's a simple thing, but it adds so much to the feeling of the space. When I need a moment away from the canvas, I step outside and it never disappoints. Nature has a way of quietly reminding you what beauty looks like.
Holistic Wellbeing
A balance of gentle exercise and a relaxed lifestyle is paramount living alongside Fibromyalgia. I enjoy the gym and a multitude of therapies such as 'Red Light', Warm Yin Yoga & Sound Healing, meditation, massage, the list goes on..... All in all creates lots of space for clear thinking and creative thought.
